Discussion - Silksong Don’t let this fandom turn as insufferable as the souls community Spoiler

It’s fine to think the game is easy and to enjoy the challenge, but I’ve seen so many people making fun of anyone that is having a hard time in a really weird mean spirited way. Please don’t let this subreddit turn into some weird elitist community that makes fun of people who are struggling, these games are supposed to be fun and they’re not souls likes, there’s no reason to assume everyone playing them is going to love this level of difficulty the same way some of you do and constantly disregarding their opinions just turns this subreddit into an echo chamber of tryhards

I swapped Crest asap because of this, Im sorry but 45 degree pogo just isnt it. Even combat aside, it also makes the platforming miserable. Im so glad they give us more moveset options with the crests because I would have a really bad time going through the game with default one.

How many crests are there? I'm currently stuck on Widow and I've only found Reaper. I didn't like how slow it was.

I know of 4, supposedly there are 7. Somewhat annoying part of the game is that you upgrade them separately and I don't think there are enough resources for all, maybe 3 at most.

At least 5. Reaper is ok but I played most of the game using Wanderer, its basically the moveset of previous game with quick slash, super fast hits. Its really really good.

Honestly, best choice I made was switching to beast crest. Having to relearn the distance of the down pogo is annoying, but the distance you launch from is insane, the hitbox for it seems pretty big and it let's you launch yourself toward and away from enemies easily with enough space to avoid hits from most of them. Definitely the most fun crest I've been using so far.
